Abstract :	[en] The Covid-19 crisis in Spain has led to the adoption of several pieces of legislation with labour law and social security content. The main priority of this fast-changing and frequently adapted legislation has been to avoid a sharp rise in unemployment. To do so, the legislator facilitated the use of the already existing procedures to temporarily suspend contracts (Expedientes Temporales de Regulacion de Empleo) ´ and prohibited certain kinds of dismissals (those based on economic circumstances and force majeure). To further develop a social shield with the ambition to protect the most vulnerable workers and families several measures that can be classified as income support have been adopted.
